This document contains information for launching the violent incident review process for Project Safe Neighborhoods initiatives in the Middle District of North Carolina.

Abstract:

This document describes the violent incident review (VIR) as “a tool used to develop operationally meaningful definitions of gun violence in target communities.” The purpose of a VIR is to bring together all interested participants from the local criminal justice system to gain new information and insight into violent crime trends within a community and facilitate communication between criminal justice agencies. A typical VIR would include the following: trend review, front-line survey, incident review, and offender review. Once the VIR is completed, a summary report is developed that includes major themes, observations, and conclusions. The VIR process should be used a starting point for ongoing and routine conversations among all partners within the jurisdiction who have information relating to violent crimes. In the Middle District of North Carolina, the VIR process must include certain mandatory components. This report presents the components of the VIR for Project Safe Davidson to highlight what is required in VIRs in the Middle District of North Carolina.
